Introduction

Time passes so quickly sometimes that seasons often take us by surprise. Never is that more apparent than the arrival of spring and that first hint of warm weather that reminds us just how long it's been since we've tried on those shorts stuffed in the bottom of dresser drawers. But, warm weather also brings a renewed interest in those New Year's resolutions we made so long ago and, perhaps, stopped working towards sometime during the dreary winter months.

As a result, many people find they're starting all over again, eager to get their bodies ready for spring. While you can't make drastic changes in just a few weeks, it is possible to get back on the workout track and make some progress before you box up the sweaters and head outside.

Before you jump back into a killer workout routine that your body may not be ready for, take some time to get organized and set up a plan that allows you to ease back into a program while getting you ready for the springtime fun to come. This step-by-step guide will help you figure out where to start.
